Our history

Tumble Tots was established in 1979 by Bill Cosgrave, coach for the British Olympic Gymnastics team of 1968.

Committed to building a healthier future

In 1984 Tumble Tots was acquired by the multi-national 'The Jack Chia-MPH Group', who recognised its enormous potential. They introduced the Tumble Tots concept to their native Singapore and also went on to develop Tumble Tots in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

In 1990 Tumble Tots (UK) Ltd acquired one of the leading UK parenting titles 'Right Start Magazine'. Today this is still distributed bi-monthly to Tumble Tots members and is also available on some news stands.

With the recent acquisition by SINA Ltd, the future development of Tumble Tots is bright. Further strengthening of the brand in the UK together with the planned expansion into new markets, will continue the Tumble Tots success story.

Tumble Tots has over 400 centres in the UK operated by more than 100 Franchisees and a current membership base of around 42,000 children.

Since its inception in 1979, close to a million children worldwide have benefited from the Tumble Tots Programme.

Tumble Tots believes that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joys of growing up, the challenges of developing new skills and the satisfaction of success. We are totally committed to building a healthier future.
